Description This property was held in fee by James O'Hara at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £40. In 1786 Wilson refers to a house at Galway which was the seat of Geoffrey O'Hara. Bence Jones describes the house as Tudor Gothic, early to mid 19th century, while the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes that the current building is dated 1859. It is now a Health Services facility.
